my sister moved there and took up citizenship 30 years ago and raised a family there, has adapted and accepted their rules even though she doesn’t always agree with them, I have done likewise with Thailand you take a place as you find it not as you like it otherwise it’s a miserable existence - Thai bureaucracy can be mind numbing at times but that’s their way not for me to be critical and certainly not suggest they are racist.
Agreed I haven’t lived in UK for over 30 years, but have a property there and manage through an account I have had with Lloyd’s for 40 years I use wise for transfers and thats a back up in the event of problems
35 years and loving it among nasty people - and for 20 of those years I lived in africa loads of nasties there I even married one and have a nasty offspring as well - listen to yourself and grow a spine - third world is fun
its an electronic travel authorization, so instead of being turned back at immig or airline check in desk you will denied access before you even leave home - for 99% of us that’s a non issue it has nowt to do with a visa or visa exemption
visa free travel won’t change this is merely an on line arrival card you fill out before you travel it will eventually eliminate the need for standing in line at immig for many arrivals , and the end of annoying stamps filling up passports love traveling to countries where this is in place like SIn, Malaysia and Australia Thailand is joining the digital age and not before time
